A huge new update for Mortal Kombat 1 has today released across all platforms. As it does every month, NetherRealm has let loose a new patch for MK1 to begin April 2025. In the process, this new update has brought about numerous overhauls to the MK1 meta, specifically when it comes to fighters on the game’s roster, both those that are playable and those that are of the Kameo variety.
Downloadable right now, this new MK1 patch is one of the biggest that has been seen so far in 2025. NetherRealm hasn’t made many general changes to its latest Mortal Kombat game with this update and has only resolved a couple of odd bugs related to localization and Invasions. The majority of this MK1 update looks to make changes to fighters that include Baraka, Havik, Kitana, Ghostface, and the newly released T-1000. Other than this, Kameo fighters in Kano, Madam Bo, and Tremor have also been altered to some degree as well.
